Critique of Greenberg''s Reductionism of Modernist Painting
格林伯格现代主义绘画的还原论批判

With the rise of American minimalism,the radically reductive art of the mid-1960's that took to a logical conclusion of the Greenbergian doctrine that painting tended inexorably to approach the condition of absolute flatness,and sculpture that of volumetric clarity,one saw formalism at its most ruthless absolute,and,artistically,one saw a complete dead end.Thus my criticism is a double critique of Greenberg's theory of modernist painting and of Minimalism's Greenbergian advocacy of literalism.
